Puerto Vallarta, one of the glittering jewels of the Mexican Pacific coast, recently welcomed its newest star, the Garza Blanca Preserve, Resort & Spa, a collection of 42 lavish rooms, suites and penthouses perched above a pristine beach, with stunning views of the destination’s famous ocean arches and the emerald jungles of the Sierra Madre.
Developed in harmony with nature on an 85-acre tropical wilderness preserve and one of Vallarta’s most beautiful beaches-home to the resort’s namesake white herons-Garza Blanca offers guests six categories of guest rooms and suites including the resort’s highlight, 2,769-square-foot penthouses, all with expansive terraces that blur the lines between indoor living and out. The architectural design is sleek and modern, emphasizing horizontal and vertical lines to form enormous windows that serve to frame Mexico’s vivid natural displays.
At Garza Blanca, it’s all about the details: travertine floors, marble showers and granite countertops. Contemporary decor includes upscale furnishings in a graceful palette of earth tones. Whirlpool baths transform master bathrooms into spas. And state-of-the-art entertainment systems and high-speed Internet access keeps guests connected…if that’s what they wish.
Five-star service is a hallmark of Garza Blanca. A private check-in area welcomes newcomers. Concierge services help them plan exciting adventures, whether urban or natural. Guests can request a private chef for an intimate dinner in their suite. Happy hours with attentive waiters await them on the beach and by the pool. In-suite spa services offer customized massages, rejuvenating therapies and skin treatments to nurture body and soul.
The heart of Garza Blanca, though, is the Atrium building and its breathtaking view of the Bay of Banderas. Here guests can while away their time by the pool, or enjoy a premium cocktail at the bar and lounge area. This is also home to the exquisite Blanca Blue restaurant, where a select gourmet menu-accompanied by wine brought from one of the world’s best cellars -can be enjoyed indoors or outside on the waterfront, illuminated by torchlight. Private beachfront candlelight dinners can also be arranged.
Garza Blanca is perfectly located just ten minutes south of the center of Puerto Vallarta and its vibrant art scene, award-winning restaurants, championship golf, eco-tour opportunities and exciting culture and nightlife. Few destinations offer such a fantastic combination of natural beauty and man-made attractions, as well as a history that lives on in its colonial buildings and cobblestone streets.
